Crazy weather we're having lately...

I wish you the best of luck.

Stay safe and enjoy the outside weather while you can!

Lots of high wind gusts and ominous looking clouds passing through Mo. since before dawn this am. These rolling thunder clouds were moving so fast my first thought was for the States to our east who will see these high winds and clouds meet with dangerous effects.

Stay tuned to your local weather authorities and of course here for any updates as this weather anomaly is sure to wreak havoc on hundreds of thousands of households in the next 24 hours. It seems to be moving fast so take heed and get to your shelters ahead of the warnings if you have one, if not find a safe place to wait this out.

1. have water and food at ready, things like sandwiches and such for power outages.
2. remember your neighbors especially those with limited mobility and or other wise vulnerable.
3. remember pets need to be kept safe too!
4. stay tuned to your local weather and take shelter at the first sign of danger.
5.do not play it brave or think that you can stay outside in these winds to catch on video or to become the next youtube sensation with home video footage. Leave the filming to the storm chasers and experts.
6. remember that this is a fast moving and very dangerous situation that you can survive if you stay calm, follow orders from the authorities and your own intuition.

I heard it's been cold throughout the region this week but going up to the mid or high 60s today - and with these high winds it's a perfect day to open the windows and air out houses and apartments. Just tie down the papers and the cats.

Spoke with friends in Bowling Green, said it was just getting ready to hit them hard.

For anyone interested in following the storm, see link below.

To all in the path -- stay safe

Yeah I live about 5 minutes north of the border between Indiana and Michigan. It's gonna be a good one.

Thats Michigan weather for ya. Thunderstorms and possible tornadoes with less than 2 weeks until December.

i remember having 3 or 4 snow days already by this time of the year when I went to grade school.

That was my concern early this am, that 'if' the winds and clouds coming up from the southwest were to meet a warm front, big time danger was ahead, if it were to hit a cold front it could be dangerous with straightline winds but not as deadly as in funnel clouds when it meets a warmer front.

Do you get the lake affects? These storm clouds and high winds could potentially become hurricane strength in that case.

TORNADO warming for racine, kenosha, SE walworth counties until 10:30AM. Plz RT! #swiwx

With the old patterns of prevailing winds something like this could have been your first blizzard in the olden days, lol! I am not implying that you are old, just what we knew even 20 years ago has become extinct.

Yeah we get lake effect all the time here. Haven't had any real bad storms recently. Neither rain nor snow. Last March it was in the high 80s which was just weird no matter how you look at it lol.

Haha yeah. I'm 27 now. There have been a few bigger storms that have done their share of damage over the years. It has been awhile though.

Its about that time

Be sure to stay up to date on any watches/warning as this system continues to move through the region, especially if you're in the affected areas:

Thanks to all for contributing so far.

I'm just south of Chicago right in the "danger" zone for the storm, I'll make sure to let you all know how it goes once it intensifies (I believe around 12:30-1pm CST).... Hopefully, there are no tornado touchdowns... Be safe everyone!

Near Ashland Il. 60mph winds, stay safe!
